Ashley embodies a wholistic health approach towards her own health and firmly upholds this virtue in her trainings with her clients. Growing up as an obese kid and through her early adulthood, Ashley truly understands that being healthy and weight loss do not solely depend on exercise. What we eat and how we view ourselves (positively or negatively) matter. She remains convinced that true health comprises all aspects - Mind, Body and Soul. She is also a strong believer that "food is thy medicine." Thus, her training sessions not only include a variety of functional exercises, but also a nutrition component that empowers her clients in understanding how food affects us physically and emotionally, instead of fearing them.

As a plant-based nutrition coach, Ashley's diet revolves around whole, natural foods that she entirely enjoys. She also loves being outdoors and participating in multiple sports - Running, swimming, skating, soccer, surfing, basketball and rugby. In fact, she plays any sports whenever she gets the chance to!

SUCCESS STORIES

"I have been training with Ashley for the last few months and I must admit that she is a true inspiration. After giving birth I was in rush to lose my 19 kgs of pregnancy weight just by a swing of a magic wand. In the process, I trained with and talked to few personal trainers. However, in my mind I was never very convinced of their approach in order to reach my goal. I then happened to get introduced to Ashley through another friend of mine. And it has been a pleasant fitness journey and experience ever since. What I truly admire about Ashley is her discipline, devotion and promptness towards her profession and clients. She has made me respect my body and has given me structured achievable path to my weight loss goal. She responds to queries fast, is always very punctual and reminds me of the things such as eating healthy or taking more stairs during the day. She never makes working out a monotonous boring affair and innovates with different forms of exercise and equipment to make it interesting. Be it outdoors or indoors (inside the gym) she makes full use of whatever is available around to make it efficient and fruitful. I have seen a remarkable difference in myself and feel healthier and fitter and have an increase in stamina with every passing day.”

Ashley has been phenomenal for our training. She understood our individual needs and trained us according to that. She got us to do different things every time, which made the sessions fun and never boring. She is also very patient and encouraging. I would strongly recommend her.

"Fitness and nutrition were my taboo words. Struggling with obesity from a young age and going through countless of failed fitness regimes and diet plans, food was my comfort.
I took a leap of faith to try out Ashley as my personal trainer in hopes of breaking a vicious of failed-weight- loss-cycles (also because she seemed different from other typical personal trainers and I was turning 30).

During the first few sessions, Ashley promised me that I will see significant changes of myself in terms of my relationship with food as well as exercise. Internally, I scoffed and cynically thought that day will never happen.
Through continuous work-out sessions and vigilantly reflecting about the food that I am ingesting, accompanied by Ashley's passionate dedication of my progress, I became much more sensitive towards what type of food my body needs and warmed up to the habit of constantly exercising. There was a great mental shift from, 'I got to exercise to be thin' to 'constantly exercise to be fit' . After three months, I got to admit, Ashley was right.

Ashley is not a personal trainer in terms of doing certain number or type of workout to get vanity short-term results. She is a wellness and wellbeing coach that I desperately needed in my empty-calories-filled life. Her passion for health and nutrition kept me going for 6 months, captivating me to live a life that is suited for me.

Fitness, no longer meant being skinny enough to wear an outfit. That word meant freedom for me to be able to do any activities without my body hindering me. The definition of 'nutrition' shifted from having a godawful vegetable smoothie because it is seemingly healthy to listening to my body on what she needs.
At the end of the sessions, the most important lesson Ashley taught me was to respect myself and be the goddess that I was meant to be!🦸‍♀️💪"

"I am glad to have Ashley as my trainer for the past 3 months and had since lost 9.6kg! I can feel her passion towards leading a healthy lifestyle. She always motivates me in an effective way as I used to be lazy in doing exercises. She is responsible and committed to her client and will go extra miles in providing her excellent service. She is one kind of people person trainer which will connect with her client. To me apart from her technique of exercises which is tough but manageable, her advise and tips for my diet play a bigger role in my lifestyle journey. Thanks to her that now I am able to choose my food wisely. I would recommend her if someone looking for a committed and passionate trainer!”

"I started training with Ashley around April, around 3 months after delivering my first child. I wasn't very sure before hiring a trainer if I will be able to lose all the weight I had gained. But after training with Ashley all these months my doubts are over. Ashley has been helping me not only towards weight loss but also towards a long term goal of maintaining it and moving towards a healthy lifestyle. She has given me great tips on my meals and her consistent follow up with me about my meals has helped so much! I am a food lover and often fail to resist good food, but Ashley's help and guidance has helped me a lot! I didn't have to stop eating the food I love and at the same time be healthy. Her sessions are a lot of fun as well including workouts at the gym and outdoors, with a huge variety in the activities. I was 60 kgs when I started training with Ashley and today I'm less than 54 kgs. I was looking towards a gradual weight loss rather than a sudden one, and I'm so happy that it happened just the way I wanted! And overall I feel much more fit than before with greater strength. I could go on and on. To summarize, if you're looking for help with your body from a personal trainer and moving towards a healthy lifestyle, I would definitely recommend Ashley. Thank you Ashley for your great help and being such a great trainer :)"

"Ashley is a fun and enjoyable trainer to train with.
She cutomises every workout according to my ability in order for me to attain my goal in preparation for my wedding. Ashley also introduces a range of workouts that makes her lessons interesting and her encouragements motivates me to put in my best at times when I feel like giving up. Her classes are fullfulling especially when I start to see results from the trainings.
Ashley also ensures that she gives adequate attention to every individual when we train together in a small group. My workout buddies and I enjoyed Ashley's training sessions and I am sure all her trainees does too! :)"

"I have been training with Ashley since late July 2019. Given that I live a pretty sedentary lifestyle and had gained considerable weight within a short period of time earlier in the year, my body became quite unhealthy -- I could not even manage one flight of stairs without stopping midway. Fortunately, I chanced upon Ashley's training program and was impressed by her credibility in sports science and her rich experience dealing with females who also want to lose weight.

My first few trainings felt tougher and more intense because my body was adapting to a more active lifestyle. However, Ashley is very encouraging and motivating, and always allows me to complete the training at a pace that is comfortable for me. In addition, she also monitored my diet and taught me how to eat well and healthy. My training with Ashley has witnessed huge body changes, physically and biologically -- Not only have I lost weight, but due to the healthy eating, my digestive system also works a lot better, and I no longer have shortness of breaths like before. Many of the sets which Ashley designs are easily doable at home as well, which makes it very convenient to exercise multiple times a week. Now, I feel as though I am missing something if I miss a workout session!"

"I have been training with Ashley for slightly more than a month (& 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝟹.𝟾𝘬𝘨 𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘦)! Ashley is very encouraging, friendly and patient. I like how each training session is different and it also suits my ability. The first few trainings was tough, as my body was adapting to working out but I'm actually looking forward to the trainings now! ⁣

Ashley also taught me how to eat better and healthier. I am more aware of what I eat now and I even start to meal-prep my lunch. With eating healthier and working out, I feel more energetic and I have better energy throughout the day. I definitely feel a lot better after working out with Ashley! 🤗 "

"Ashley was my personal trainer before my wedding. The objective and goals were to make sure i could fit into my gown. During the 2-3 months of work prior to the wedding, we had a huge variety of workouts from cardio to weights. Ashley had coupled the workouts with helping us manage our food intake. The workouts has helped me cut the weight that I need and tone the areas needed before the wedding. Ashley is very committed and follows up regularly prior to our sessions. When things were not available, she improvises! She definitely is very helpful and cheery in helping achieve your personal goals."

"I decided to look up Ashley in May, when I was sick and tired of being sleepy at work and too lethargic to move. My diet consisted of mostly fast food and soda at that time, a result of bad childhood eating habits. Despite being "skinny fat" throughout my teenage years, age finally caught up with me and I was putting on the pounds furiously. Thanks to Ashley's regime of teaching the right exercises to suit my fitness level and nutrition lessons, I developed strength and fitness mobility but most importantly, learnt to be conscious about what I put into my body. I reached my target weight loss of 6kg in just 3 months without dieting, but what's even more impressive is the 360 change in my diet including cutting out soda entirely. I heartily recommend Ashley to walk you through your fitness journey!"

-Charissa

Personal Training Client

I started training with Ashley about a month ago after trying out four different personal trainers, and the results from our training have been very satisfactory and encouraging, to say the least. Ashley has been and continues to be patient throughout the journey, injecting fun and surprises into each session and ensuring the routines are always challenging to drive you to better results. She never fails to remind you of your goals and the fact this is a journey you and her are undertaking together. She takes a holistic approach to weight loss and a healthy lifestyle by overseeing your exercise routine, food/diet, and the little things you can do daily to make this a sustainable effort. I would strongly recommend Ashley to my friends and any one who is looking to lose weight for the long term, and create a healthier, more sustainable lifestyle.

We were looking for ways to loss weight but those methods didn’t work until we met Ashley 4 months ago and it was the best choice we've made!

The trainings were enjoyable and we looked forward to go to her lesson every week. The difficulty of training increases gradually which allows our body to adapt and adjust.

She is also very friendly and supports you like a good friend encouraging you to do your best. She has not only taught us about exercise but diet plans too. She doesn’t places any restriction on any food but has taught us to eat moderately, changing our habits gradually. It’s about a lifetime change and not a short term change.

After 4 months, in between Christmas, birthdays and Chinese New Year, we are happy to have lost weight! We are really happy to have met Ashley and learn from her! If you are looking for a professional yet friendly PT, do train with Ashley. She’s really great!

"I've been training with Ashley since December, and I saw tremendous improvement in my energy, strength and overall fitness within 6 months. I had to get a whole new wardrobe because everything was too loose! Ashley has also taught me a lot about how to eat better, helping me make better food choices without compromising too much on my favourite treats. Her workouts can be pretty tough but she's a great motivator and I always feel great at the end of our sessions!”

"I have been training with Ashley for 7 months and it has been an enjoyable 7 months! Ashley works my buddy and I very hard, reminding us (all the time) of our goal. Although her exercises are tough, she ensures that every exercise session is different and we do not get bored or demoralised. She is also very willing to share her knowledge when we have questions about the exercise, health, food and etc. I started to see a change in my physical fitness after 1.5 months. Previously, I was not able to complete basic resistance training exercises but after training with Ashley, I was able to complete these exercises during my other exercise classes without much difficulty! After training with Ashley, I have made a more conscious effort in watching my diet, ensuring that I have a balanced diet during each meal and the occasional "cheat" day is a reward for the good effort. Exercise is always fun in groups and I highly recommend training with a buddy!"

"I trained with Ashley for 11 sessions (10 + 1 Trial) and she is a very motivating trainer. She stretches me to my limits and is very encouraging along the way! The programme that she planned for me was suitable for my ability and builds up my stamina. She was also flexible in adjusting the programme according to my state of the day. I really like her!
After training with her, I’m more toned and I feel more energetic throughout the day. I was conscious of what I eat and at the same time, I don’t feel deprived. As I am a vegetarian, she was able to advise me based on my special dietary restrictions, which I am very thankful for.
Her training were both fun and tough. We did a variety of moves both indoor and outdoor. This made training interesting. As each training session has increased intensity, it made all the training tough. When we completed one training, I always feel a sense of achievement and success.
Working out with Ashley was a starting point for me. It showed me that consistency is important and by working out a little bit each week, we were able to accumulate and build up results.
I definitely felt more confident after working out with Ashley and it kick-start my interest in fitness."

"I have been training with Ashley since February 2016. She motivates me and I have learn from her in terms of nutrition and physical training. In the first 2 months of training I lost 3kg! I love working out with Ashley. She is very patient with me and I really enjoy the conversations we have while I am training with her. She is tough on me and pushes me which is a good thing cause I really needed it. At the end of the day after all the whining and complaining, I feel really good after each session. Now, after working out with Ashley I am more aware of my food intake and lifestyle and I will always make it a point to make a healthier choice!”

-Muna

"We have been training with Ashley for 10 sessions with the goal to change our old habits. Ashley understood quickly our context and expectations and developed a program based on our needs. Over the 3 months together, we realized that we lost some weights and increase our endurance drastically as well as improve our food habits. The trainings with Ashley were fun, thorough, and tough. Thanks to those sessions, our endurance increased and I sleep better than before. I would recommend Ashley to anyone looking for an excellent personal trainer !"

-Arnaud & Olivia

"I have been training with Ashley for the past 4 months and have seen amazing results in that time. I have never felt stronger or healthier. Ashley is personable and passionate about fitness. She is focused on helping me achieve my goals and make every session fun and challenging. I have seen improvements in my fitness level and a toner body. I know I would never have achieved the level of fitness if not for the personal attention and encouragement given during my training sessions. Signing up with Ashley as my PT was one of the best decisions I have ever made. She makes each session challenging yet rewarding. I would recommend her without reservation.”

-Michelle

"I have been working out with Ashley for now 10 months and apart from helping me generally get fitter and in shape - her patience dealing with my heavy work schedules has been amazing! She's very determined, I call her the "general" and really makes every session hard work but fun! Compared to other personal Trainers I've used in the past; she's the only one I've stuck with for this Long and I see no reason to stop. Definitely recommend Ashley for anyone whose looking for a very complete work out and path to fitness while also having some fun!"

-Hidayah

Fitness Bootcamp Participant

"Ashley has been my Personal Trainer just over a year. It has been very helpful to have the one-on-one attention; I have realised that I get a more effective and rewarding workout when I am being guided by Ashley than when I am working out on my own. She not only makes sure that I follow her instructions to do each exercise correctly, tells me which muscle(s) I am using when I am doing them, and also why the exercise should be done in the precise manner she instructs but also constantly ensures that I am pushing myself in a healthy way. I very much enjoy training with her; I find her positivity, energy, and no-nonsense and driven approach extremely motivating. Her supportive yet firm manner also makes every training session effective, and I have not, to date, ever ended a single session with her without feeling exhausted but energised and re-invigorated especially when I began that session feeling sluggish and unenthusiastic.
Ashley is a fantastic Personal Trainer who is knowledgeable about fitness and nutrition, and is both dedicated and passionate about what she does. Constantly emphasizing the importance of nutrition in the entire fitness equation, Ashley has always been available on her mobile phone to comment on the photographs I send her of the food I eat which serves to spur me on when I am lacking the self-discipline to eat well. She also assesses my current condition every session and plans our workouts accordingly to accommodate them while always bearing my ultimate health and fitness goals in mind. What I am especially happy about is that she works around and/or with my weak knees that act up on occasion sometimes severely, and my fitness levels that vary due to insomnia and irregular exercising.
As such, I would highly recommend Ashley to anyone looking for a committed and knowledgeable trainer who has made getting so very much stronger, healthier, and infinitely more nutritionally-aware all of the time such an enjoyable and rewarding experience for me. I also cannot emphasise enough how both her personality and flexibility set her apart from others in her field entirely."

"My husband and I have been training with Ashley for the past 9 months and we really enjoy it! At first it was challenging as we had not exercised for a LONG while but with Ashley's encouragement and great exercise planning, we find our sessions really enjoyable and look forward to them. She strikes a great balance between pushing you to your limit but keeps it still fun! We feel a real change in our energy levels and as a result feel motivated to work out more on our own, even on holiday. Ashley also gives us bite-size exercise routines to do on vacation! Working out with Ashley has made us more conscious of our fitness and it has been a positive cycle that also makes us want to improve our eating habits and live a healthier life. Thank you Ashley!”

-Mr and Mrs Ang

Personal Training Clients

"I've been training with Ashley for over a year now. Most training sessions are a combination of cardio, weight training and HIIT. After the session, she would also advise me on dietary intake/food choices, exercise and stretching that I can include in my daily lifestyle. Being almost the same age with Ashley, it is easier to connect with her. She understands the problems and challenges to keep healthy amid my busy schedule, as such, she would adjust our training regime accordingly and advises me on how to make healthier choices daily to make sure it is easy for me to carry it through. Training with Ashley is difficult, but it wouldn't be considered a workout if you don't break a sweat right? Though training might be difficult, it is still fun as Ashley keeps me engaged and interested throughout the session. She encourages and spur me on at particularly tough moments!
Ever since I've started training with Ashley, I've seen improvements in my body and my in daily life as well. Although it is still a work in progress, I can see my body toning and shaping up, which is a great feeling! I do feel more energetic and less lethargic than before. Especially after a work out with Ashley, I would always feel refresh! Ashley has also taught me that little things that I do daily can make a difference,such as choosing to take the stairs/walking to the next bus stop which I proactively do now. As a whole, it's been a great experience training with Ashley. She is able to empathize and understand your concerns, and I would recommend her for anyone looking for a fun and inspiring trainer!"

-Min Fang

"I have been training with Ashley for 2 months. She's an enthusiastic trainer and demonstrates every step of the exercise very clearly to me. One of the most important factor for me was she was never late for our session, and would always send a reminder to me a day before our training. After the second session, I felt great! I have more energy throughout the day and I can fall asleep at night easier now, as compared to the past where I would always feel restless and sleepless nights. I signed up for 10 sessions with Ashley, although I did not lose any weight as I did not cut down on my meal portion, but I can see my waist, belly and arms are smaller and firmer now. Overall, training with Ashley is a great experience as she is a easy going person and she is very friendly. I will definitely recommend her to my friends who needs a personal trainer!”

"I have been training with Ashley since October last year. Ashley is friendly and gives very good advice on nutrition + workout which is is a great combination as it goes hand in hand. I have benefitted from Ashley’s sessions in my weight loss journey, she guided me through and was always motivating me to push myself during sessions. I particularly felt very energised through the day after the morning sessions!"
